I Could Never Make It As A Boy Scout

I'm not prepared.

For a new year. My knuckles are white from clenching the shadow of 2007.

I'm not ready to un-deck our halls. Let me clarify, I'm ready for everything to be gone, I just don't want to do it. However, staring at our drooping tree and tired decorations I am reminded how fast the holiday season passed. Whoosh!

Pretty much an example of the entire year. Whoosh! 2007 is out and 2008 is here. Where did it go? I feel old.

Goals for the new year? Word of the year? Changes? Ideas are tumbling around my brain, I just don't seem to have them together yet. See, not prepared. If I'm not careful it will be June and I still won't have a list. That's my MO, sad but true.

Do you set goals for the new year? Do you reflect on the past year? Are your halls still decked? (I hope I have some company!)

My halls are still decked. I may start taking things down tomorrow though. I'm always a little sad to take the tree down, but I like how my home feels uncluttered and clean after I've put away Christmas!

I've been thinking about my resolutions, but haven't finalized anything yet. I need to though. I'm not always the best at keeping my resolutions, but at least I try!

I feel the same way. It seems like a blur...way too fast (well, except for the last few weeks of my pregnancy. THAT lasted a year I swear!).

My tree is still up and it's the 2nd. Gracie cried when I started taking it down so it remains. Everything else that is deckish is put away. The tree will have to go after bedtime tonight though. It's making me nutty. :)
